00:00That became my life for that time. I never used to move without painkillers, no.
00:07Receive that freedom in Jesus' name.
00:12I was just alone in my room, but the Spirit of the Lord located me,
00:18and I believed in my heart that indeed distance is not a barrier.
00:22How come I felt like that when I'm here in Zambia, and Brother Chris is in the UK?
00:35My name is Patricia, and I'm connected from Zambia.
00:39My testimony goes like this.
00:42Last year in September, when I just returned to my place, I came back from school.
00:49So I started feeling a sharp pain on my back.
00:55It started just like a joke.
00:57I woke up one day and felt like something was on my back, was paining.
01:03Then I ignored.
01:04As days went on, the pain kept on increasing.
01:08The pain was there, it kept on coming, and I continued to ignore.
01:14But as days went on, it started worsening.
01:16It worsens to the extent where I started failing to do certain things that I used to do.
01:25Simple things like standing up became a challenge.
01:29Where when I'm seated, just for me to stand, I had to balance my waist.
01:34What did?
01:36Things like that.
01:37It also started affecting my life.
01:39I thought it was a simple thing.
01:41Like it's a normal thing because everyone, whenever I used to tell my friends or any person about the pain,
01:47they were like, no, don't worry because you're a lady.
01:50You've gone through childbirth.
01:51It is normal.
01:52Everyone experiences that pain.
01:54Just learn to live with it.
01:56And then I was like, no, this pain, I think it's different.
01:59People, they don't know what I'm feeling.
02:01They don't know what is on me.
02:02Something is happening in my body, and it needs serious intervention.
02:08So I was just determined to find the solution for that.
02:13So I decided to visit the hospital for September.
02:18And all the necessary tests were done.
02:21And unfortunately, the doctors didn't find anything wrong with me.
02:25They told me that everything is fine.
02:27We've done all the tests.
02:28Everything is okay.
02:29I think you just need to change.
02:32If there's anything that you've been doing, maybe you've been doing heavy work,
02:37you need to change or whatever that you've been doing, which can be associated to your pain.
02:43Just change and things like that.
02:44I went back.
02:45I stayed home for some time.
02:47The pain kept on worsening.
02:49I started failing to do simple house chores like sweeping.
02:53I couldn't.
02:54I couldn't unless maybe just standing up light.
02:59And when I'm standing, I should not move faster.
03:02I started failing.
03:04Even just walking fast, I started failing to do that.
03:07I started failing to sit somewhere, maybe on a chair which is not comfortable.
03:14Whenever I want to sit, I could get pillows to support my back.
03:19A lot of pillows, about three or four, just to put on my back for me to just sit.
03:24And standing was also another challenge.
03:28Travelling from where I stayed to nearby towns was a problem.
03:32This day that I tried to travel to go to a town, which is a two-hour drive,
03:38I experienced the pain was wasting.
03:43It became waste.
03:44It was more like something was burning on my lower back.
03:48Immediately, I reached.
03:50I had to look for a pharmacy and buy painkillers, buy water.
03:55So that became my life for that time.
03:58I never used to move without painkillers, no.
04:01Because I knew that whenever I sit for more than maybe 30 minutes, I won't be able to walk.
04:07I won't be able to stand.
04:07So I need to carry painkillers and water so that when I reach, I drink in order for me to
04:13just carry out my normal life.
04:15It was very disturbing.
04:16It was very bad.
04:17It was very painful.
04:19And I went back again to the hospital.
04:22After that, I went back.
04:24Same thing.
04:24The doctor told me that you are okay.
04:27There's nothing wrong.
04:28Maybe you need to be booked so that you can start coming for physio.
04:32You exercise and things like that.
04:34So now when I came back home, I was like, no.
04:37I'm just in my status.
04:39I only have two kids.
04:40Why should I suffer at this?
04:42If I don't take these things seriously, then it will be worse.
04:47And I don't know what will become of me.
04:49I need to take these things serious.
04:52So I have a very close friend of mine whom I told she called me to ask how I'm doing.
04:58And I started sharing with her how I was.
05:01I told her, right now, if you see where I'm sitting, you even think I'm exaggerating things.
05:06There are pillows all over.
05:07I can't even stand.
05:08And just for me to stand, I'll need, if I'm alone, then it's a struggle.
05:12Maybe if my husband or my kids is nearby, at least they'll give me a push just for me to
05:18stand up.
05:18So she was like, oh, okay, that is bad.
05:21But I would encourage you to follow God's Heart channel on WhatsApp so that you can pray with Brother Chris.
05:30There are people there.
05:31People are getting healed.
05:32People testify all the time.
05:34Just find time and follow the channel on WhatsApp.
05:39Then you join the prayer.
05:41Then we'll see how it will go.
05:43That was how she sent me the link.
05:45And I joined the channel on WhatsApp.
05:49So I started following people's testimonies, following prayers by Brother Chris.
05:56And one day I sent a mail requesting to join for the live interactive prayer in November.
06:05I think, yes, that was in November.
06:07I joined my first prayer session in trade.
06:10And the second one as well.
06:13In December, I sent another prayer request.
06:16And I was privileged to join the one which was in December, yes, last year.
06:22That was how I joined.
06:24And the man of God started ministering, praying for everyone.
06:29I was alone in my room following the program normally.
06:32And when the man of God started praying for people on the screen, I was one of the people that
06:40he touched on the screen.
06:42All of a sudden, I was praying.
06:43And all of a sudden, I felt like there's something that has come over me.
06:48I chose to pray.
06:50I crossed my eyes.
06:52I was failing to look at the screen.
06:54I couldn't.
06:56Declare that people of God.
06:58Declare it by the blood of Jesus Christ.
07:02By his wounds, you are healed.
07:05By his stripes, you are healed.
07:09By his blood shed on the cross of Calvary, you are healed.
07:15Be healed.
07:16Be healed.
07:18Be healed.
07:19Be healed in Jesus' name.
07:25Receive that freedom in Jesus' name.
07:33The only thing that I remember after a few minutes was me raising my head like this, feeling a bit
07:41dizzy, and seeing my face on the screen.
07:46Then on my heart, I was like, Jesus, this is the moment that I was waiting for.
07:51So, I am healed.
07:52I started confessing.
07:53I am healed.
07:54I am healed.
07:54This pain, the man of God said, should touch whatever would have pain.
07:59I touched my lower back.
08:00I touched my stomach.
08:02And I was like, thank you, Jesus.
08:04Thank you, Jesus, for healing me.
08:05Thank you, Jesus.
08:06I just had that strength in me.
08:08So now, after the prayer, the service was over, and everything went off.
08:14I was alone, and I just started thanking God for the experience that I had, because I was just alone
08:24in my room, but the Spirit of the Lord located me.
08:29And I believed in my heart that, indeed, distance is not a barrier.
08:33How come I felt like that when I'm here in Gambia, and Brother Chris is in the UK?
08:40So I was like, thank you, Jesus.
08:42Thank you, Jesus.
08:43Thank you, Jesus.
08:44So after the prayer in December, I was surprised.
08:48I don't know how it happened.
08:50I don't know when it happened.
08:51But as we entered the new year, I just realized that my back was no longer in pain.
08:58The pain started going away the same way it came, because the pain was gradual.
09:03It didn't just come like a one-day thing, no.
09:06Today, the worst pain.
09:07Tomorrow, it worse.
09:08Tomorrow, again, the pain increases, just like that.
09:10And that is exactly the same way it disappeared.
09:13After the prayer, and we entered the new year in January, the whole January ended February.
09:19I was like, my pain has disappeared.
09:24It is no longer there, because if it is there, how come I'm able to wash with my hands without
09:30painkillers?
09:32From the day that I joined the prayers in December until we entered New Year,
09:39till today, I've never taken any painkiller.
09:42I've never have traveled to other towns without any problem.
09:48So, then I realized to say that God has indeed healed me.
09:53God has indeed delivered me from that awful pain that I had.
09:57It was so bad.
09:59But now, I'm able to stand on my own.
10:01I'm able to do the house chores.
10:04I'm able to move, to do everything that I wasn't able to do.
10:07I'm able to bend, even just to pick things, even just standing for a long time.
10:12I'm able to do that, even sitting in church for a longer time, because the pain had affected my life,
10:19started affecting my life bit by bit, whereby I even avoided going to church.
10:24Like, no, if I go to church, I will have to sit on that chair for over an hour.
10:29And then, the pain would be so much, it was like something is standing on my waist.
10:34The pain would be so.
10:35I would rather stay at home.
10:37And I also started avoiding public places, because how do I even stand?
10:42How do I tell people that I am?
10:44Can you fool me?
10:46Can you help me?
10:47Or maybe if they see those agri-facial expressions that I was making, whenever I'm about to stand, they'll start
10:53asking.
10:54So, I decided to be at home and avoid going to church and other public places.
11:02But thank you, Jesus, to the glory of God from last December until now, I'm able to do all the
11:09things that I never used to do.
11:12I did not go for physio.
11:15I did not attend any exercise for my back.
11:19I stopped taking the painkillers, and I am healed, just like that.
11:25And as I am speaking right now, no more pain.
11:29Completely gone.
11:31Completely gone.
11:33Previously, I never used to stand up like the way I'm standing just now.
11:42That was almost impossible.
11:45I had to hold on to something and balance my waist for me to stand.
11:50But now I'm able to stand and also bending like this.
11:55I never, I never even reached this level or just, even just kneeling or doing anything, picking something that was
12:06on the floor was a challenge.
12:08I couldn't do that.
12:09I couldn't, unless I call someone to pick for me, even just more ways doing this, I couldn't, all this,
12:18I could not do.
12:21So, you mean that as you are doing all this exercise, you are not feeling any pain?
12:26No pain, not at all.
12:28As that now, I'm not feeling any pain.
12:31My word of advice is to have faith in Jesus.
12:39Seek Jesus because he has all the solutions.
12:42Before I thought of going for prayers on online like this, I had asked a lot of people about my
12:52problem.
12:53Everyone had their own different opinion.
12:56This one would tell, you know, this is your life now.
13:00Just manage it.
13:01Just learn to live with it because backache doesn't go away.
13:06There's nothing like that.
13:07If it has come, it has come.
13:09Others would be like, no, start going for exercise.
13:13And then others would be like, no, maybe find a maid, someone to be helping you with the choice so
13:21that you can be resting.
13:22But the moment I had to seek the face of God, that was the moment that I found my healing
13:29and my solution to my problem.
13:32So stick the face of God, face before anything, because that is where you will find everything that you need.
13:40That is why your problems will be sorted, your prayers will be answered, and that is where you find your
13:46healing.
